MARRERO RIVERON, Luis Oscar et al. Immunography with 99mTc- non-specific human polyclonal IgG (99mTc-IgG) in the diagnosis of osteoarticular sepsis. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2003, vol.17, n.1-2, pp. 7-13. ISSN 1561-3100.

The present paper shows the results of the pilot clinical trial that involved 14 patients with suspicion of having bone and joint sepsis in “Frank País” International Scientific Orthopedic Hospital by using 99mTc-IgG.
